20 Roubles Smith Craft

Part of Belarus's long-running decorative crafts series, this issue celebrates the blacksmith tradition that remained economically vital in Belarusian villages well into the Soviet period, when collective farms still maintained working forges for agricultural tool repair. The National Bank of Belarus issued dozens of these craft-themed commemoratives through the 2000s and 2010s, largely targeting the thematic collector market rather than any domestic circulation purpose.

KM#376 is one of several closely related types from the same year; collectors building the full crafts set should verify the specific reverse against auction records, as catalog cross-referencing within this series has produced persistent misattributions.
